New support for Klevius' criticism against Indonesian Muslim crypto-creationist "scientist"

Journal of Human Evolution
Homo floresiensis: Microcephalic, pygmoid, Australopithecus, or Homo?
by Debbie Argue, Denise Donlon, Colin Groves and Richard Wright (available online 5, July 2006):

"We explore the affinities of LB1 using cranial and postcranial metric and nonmetric analyses. LB1 is compared to early Homo, two microcephalic humans, a ‘pygmoid’ excavated from another cave on Flores, H. sapiens (including African pygmies and Andaman Islanders), Australopithecus, and Paranthropus. Based on these comparisons, we conclude that it is unlikely that LB1 is a microcephalic human, and it cannot be attributed to any known species. Its attribution to a new species, Homo floresiensis, is supported."

KLevius comment: see postings below + Out of Africa as "pygmies" and back as global "mongoloids"!
